@ondoteam I do lawn care, plant health care, landscape designs and installations, specialty pruning, on-site diagnosis, among a number of other various fun stuff. it keeps a guy busy.
@ondoteam Yea, got about 8 minutes! I grew this in my garden and a client's, but it certainly wasn't scented at all - and I have a strong sense of smell. Maybe its the heat where you are that means it has a scent
while I'm here, can you tell me how to get into the Garden Shed - the only way I got here now is to click on Niall's response to me about another subject but there must be a way of getting in here that I don't know about...
well drained site in full or half sun, in the UK best planted in the lee of a wall (sheltered) but probably where you are, doesn't matter cos its warmer year round. Plenty of room required - gets 8 feet by 8 feet. By the way, book says it's fragrant, but mine certainly wasn't.
How disappointing that mine wasn't - when yours flowers, I'd like to know if its fragrant. I grew mine from a cutting taken in the client's garden, and hers wasn't fragrant either...
There isn't another freestanding cultivar, well not that grows in the UK anyway 'revolutum' is all there is. Probably variable scent, some fragrant plants are a bit variable
Yep, that's it, although I've moved now and don't have a garden just a balcony, so haven't got this plant now anyway. By the way, just in case when I said freestanding, I meant its the only one that doesn't climb or need support
Your English is good, but I don't want you to have to work too hard to understand what I'm saying...
Thank you! I have learned English in Internet forums and my grammar is not good
I will do one thing. I will wait until the plant blooms. If it is scented I will do a cut for you and if it is not scented I will try to get a cut from the plant of the picture :)
Well that'd be great,thanks, but lord knows how I'd get it, given where I am and where you are
Funny thing is, I'm doing a replant in a client's neglected garden, and I'm considering using this plant there - maybe, if I do, that one will be scented!
Although I know David Austin has an export licence, which means they're checked and certified by the authorities. Not sure about ebay suppliers though....
I have a nursery I use online a lot, one particular one I like, in the UK. The days when you could find what you wanted at the garden centre are long gone - they only sell what's in flower at the time.
But really I like to examine plants before I buy, turn them out of their pots and look at the roots, overall shape, that kind of thing. Not possible on line...
Not really, though that might be what you call them. In the uk, a plant nursery is where they grow their own plants and you can buy them - a garden centre sells plants they buy in, and also loads of other stuff like furniture, candles, books, christmas trees at christmas instead of plants, more like a shopping emporium with plants
Yup... same word. I think nursery for plants is accurate - they grow them from babies and then sell them on, and nursery for children, you get my drift. Whereas garden centre is different here.
@MattS. Every year, Gurneys sends me about 10 $25 off of $50 catalogs, 3 $75 off $150, and 2 $25/$50, $50/$100, and $100/200. Whenever one sale expires they send me the next one.
I buy a lot from them, and the half offs are nice (they'd be twice as expensive as their competitors otherwise).
Another nice thing is when gardens alive! Sends a $25 off anything offer.
@MattS. You could get something real cheap (like under $300,000) out of pocket, and fix it up some. It'd be an investment, but you could build from there.
@J.Musser Actually housing market in the midwest, I could get a pretty decent house for $100K, but but the problem is selling it in 2-3 years, I didn't want to be tied down.
I considered that. I almost bought a duplex, but I'm planning on moving up a few states, so It would be hard to rent out. I'd have to get a property manager or someone in town to watch it, and then it's not so profitable.
@J.Musser Yeah, I'm probably going to be leaving the one blueberry bush that will be too tall to take with. And most of the raspberry and blackberry bushes.
But I should be able to split the raspberries/blackberries before I leave and regrow them.
The blueberry bush was called a kabluey blueberry, so I couldn't resist getting it anyways.
